Gord> Is there any way to get a 80x50 screen with a nicely displayed cursor?
Yes...on my 2.0.5 system I do this in my /etc/rc.local (hopefully it
applies to 2.1.0 as well):
if ispcvt; then
echo -n ' pcvt'
loadfont -c1 -f /usr/share/misc/pcvtfonts/vt220l.808
for v in 0 1 2 3 4 5; do
scon -t 180 -d /dev/ttyv$v
scon -s 50 -d /dev/ttyv$v
cursor -s3 -e7 -d /dev/ttyv$v
done
fi
Season to taste.
